Children's musician Nick Cope plays his guitar and uses interactive animations in a family show recommended for ages 3 and over.
Nick Cope brings his latest family show to the Warwick Arts Centre on Sunday 8 November, a brand new one that pairs his guitar with interactive animations. It's a one-hour set with no interval, so it's a single stretch of music and visuals rather than a split afternoon.
Cope has spent more than a decade writing and recording original songs for children and families, and he's built a following playing to sell-out crowds across the country. A good part of that grew from his hit CBeebies show Nick Cope's Popcast, which brought his songs to a lot of living rooms. The critics have had their say, too: Steve Lamacq of BBC Radio 6 Music called him 'the Ray Davies for the pre-teen generation', while Stewart Lee has compared him to Robyn Hitchcock and Syd Barrett. It's a bit of a tell about where his songwriting sits — more in line with the eccentric, melodic side of English pop than the usual children's fare.
On stage, he works with his guitar and interactive animations, and he's known for reaching into people's hearts and igniting children's imaginations in an organic, educational and incredibly fun way, engaging and enthralling all generations. It's a show that doesn't just talk at kids but brings them into it, and it's recommended for ages 3 and over. Under-16s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
